About The Position

TalentPop is seeking a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to act as the initial point of contact for potential customers, aiming to convert their interest into qualified sales opportunities. This role involves managing a consistent flow of inbound leads and conducting targeted outbound prospecting. The focus is on identifying genuine customer intent, understanding their needs, and qualifying opportunities for Account Executives to present demos. The ideal candidate is organized, commercially aware, and adept at balancing promptness with personalized outreach. This position offers a potential career path to an Account Executive role within approximately 12 months, based on performance and business needs.

Requirements

• 1+ years of experience as an SDR, BDR, or in a comparable sales development, business development, or prospecting-focused role.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct multi-channel prospecting and follow-up across email, phone, LinkedIn, and related sales channels.
• Experience with account-based outbound prospecting, including prioritizing target accounts, researching prospects, personalizing outreach, and executing multi-touch sequences.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to create personalized prospect messaging rather than relying solely on templated outreach.
• Experience using HubSpot or a comparable CRM, with a track record of maintaining accurate pipeline data and meeting established activity and conversion targets.

Nice To Haves

• Previous experience within E-Commerce, SaaS, agency, or technology-enabled services environments.
• Experience selling products or services to DTC or E-Commerce brands.

• Demonstrated interest in progressing into a closing sales role, such as Account Executive.

Responsibilities

• Own the initial qualification and engagement of inbound and outbound prospects, converting qualified opportunities into scheduled demos for Account Executives.
• Maintain timely and consistent prospect follow-up across email, phone, LinkedIn, and other approved outreach channels.
• Research and qualify target accounts to determine fit, identify relevant business needs, and personalize outreach accordingly.
• Maintain accurate and complete CRM records, including prospect activity, qualification status, stage progression, and disposition.
• Meet established activity, response-time, pipeline generation, and demo-booking expectations.
• Respond to inbound leads quickly, with a target speed-to-lead of under five minutes during business hours, and manage follow-up until a meeting is booked or the lead is clearly disqualified.
• Execute multi-touch outbound sequences across email, phone, and LinkedIn against a defined list of target accounts that align with TalentPop's ideal customer profile.
• Research prospective accounts before outreach, including their business model, customer support environment, helpdesk or technology stack, team structure, and potential needs.
• Maintain strong HubSpot hygiene by logging activity, updating stages, maintaining accurate prospect records, and supporting weekly pipeline reporting.
• Share insights with the broader sales team regarding messaging effectiveness, prospect objections, high-converting segments, common needs, and points of funnel drop-off.

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO after 90 days of employment.
• Company MacBook and $300 home office stipend.
• Comprehensive United health insurance, plus 100% company-covered dental and vision insurance through Humana.
• 401(k) match: TalentPop will match 100% of the first 3% of your contribution, plus 50% of the next 2%. Employer matching contributions will not exceed 4% of your compensation. Employees are eligible after 90 days of employment.
• Team events and international offsites.
• Summer Fridays with shortened five-hour workdays on designated Fridays during the summer months.
• Corporate Wellness Program with a choice between 24 Hour Fitness or ClassPass monthly credits, plus wellness workshops and mental health resources.
